I've been having some trouble concentrating on my "work" lately. And by "work" I mean learning JQuery and MVC, so I can put together a better résumé / portfolio to find a new job.

After a day of doing chores, and trying to avoid contact with my room mate (he has the flu, poor bear), I went to dinner tonight with the delightful

mdarnaud at El Zarape Mexican restaurant.

I did just a tiny bit of color correction to warm the colors up a tad. The salsa in front is your typical salsa fresca; tomato based and mild to medium spicy. The other one is more green than yellow. It's a salsa verde, which is usually mild and a little tangy, but they made theirs a little spicier. Salsa verde is made from tomatillos, not tomatoes.

I've been learned...? lol ;)

Sorry! didn't meant to be so pedantic and stuff. It's just that most east-coasters don't know about all the different kinds of salsas and stuff. I sure had no idea about the difference between salsa fresca, pico de gaillo, salsa verde, salsa roja, molé, or chipotle salsa, to name a few.

I just knew that guacamole was made with avocados. And in my 20-year-old ignorance, the first time i saw the word "quesadilla", i may have pronounced it "KWAY-so-DEE-luh". ;-)

The proliferation of 'American' Mexican eating establishments has allowed the East Coasters to know most of the things you listed. However, fresh authentic Mexican is a totally different beast. Unfortunately for you, eating the tortilla chips would be out of the question. LOL
